I think a significant percentage of flyers don’t bother with flight mode anymore. Was on a full plane from CA to TX a while back. During the final landing approach I heard dozens of alerts as the plane got nearer to the ground. Nobody cared

I know this, as I work in crypto. But I’d have never considered using it for this - it doesn’t register in the brain as anything other then crypto. Awesome solution, thanks for hacking my brain.

I just want to be able to find books with keywords. I often forget the title of books, but I can rattle off a summary. Google books has gotten worse also - to the point of useless unless you have a quote or are looking for common titles.

Collective hysteria has affected the extremes of both parties and their outliers as well. If politics follows society, and society follows individuals then I’ve got real worries for any future in numerous first world nations. The ultimatum

Agreed - up to some breaking point at least. As long as they can reliably put hundreds of thousands of protesters in the streets, they are almost invincible. China can handle thousands. Tens of thousands becomes a real problem. More than th

If I utilize a copyrighted work in the creation of something new, depending on the level and quantity, my new work could likely be considered derivative of the original work. I think Amazon will argue that that speech-to-text isn’t “creativ

If that’s the case then I’m doomed to real-world dating. Apparently I need to hire a photographer and a social media coordinator, because otherwise I absolutely stink at flirting online. Other issue is that I like intellectuals and smarter

Our company did a handful of these before we sought VC funding. I have to agree with most everything said already. You’ll starve before the contract gets funded - it can take years and you will likely be on a second generation of code by th

I've been looking for something like Moonfire! Do you have any recommendations for an outdoor camera, I was looking at Lorex but don't have much experience? Thanks!

The cheaper espresso machines have reliability problems, so people spend more to get a better product. The ability to modify and repair the machines is helpful also. It's more like a hobby than just a coffee maker for some people.

On my 5th startup - I cannot agree more. You only have so much cashflow - your first priority is to maintain and deliver for your customers. They pay the bills usually. Architecture and engineering are important, and they need support and t

I had read earlier that the rootstock came from Ingleside, near Corpus Christi, TX. Wikipedia says they came from Temple, TX.

Sure - that's a solution - Apple's iCloud Keychain might work there also. I don't use it and have some reservations as Apple’s iCloud services still do not provide end-to-end encryption. I'd be interested to see what Mat

Public keys are essentially trackable metadata if they're shared. The proposed hash of time + public key would be guessable if you had access to a particular public key. Apple certainly could get the public key. They wouldn't

Could be - but time would be something easily guessable if you knew the public key. Still not bad though since the public keys are being stored on the devices.

The hard part is going to be the key rotation. I’d suspect they’re using something similar to Moxie’s Double Ratchet algorithm since it’s got some years of real world usage. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Ratche

My mother’s interviews are stored in DC at the holocaust museum. I would bet they have samples of the Holereth cards as well. Most of the records are still stored in Germany though, and there are also records stored in Moscow.

Not mentioned in the article - but I’ve read in the book and heard directly that the Aushwitz prisoner number tattoo was directly matched to a punchcard. My mother helped interview Jewish survivors so that their stories were recorded and a

That’s eerily good at replicating the style. Even the links are styled properly.

Agreed. The only comment I would add is that, unlike newspapers, these companies receive a broad immunity through the laws so that they can operate without fear of legal retribution. Even though they operate as private companies, I would

I think perhaps there’s likely thousands of tornadoes that never got recorded due to locality in low population areas. I grew up in tornado alley and can remember many tornadoes that did little or no damage that never got a blip in the news

I spent a couple of years making CF webapps - it was a wonderful experience. I wrote my own CFML interpreter for Linux at one point (before the Linux version existed), but never really finished it.
